FL S1386

Florida enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, allowing licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology across state lines and provide temporary in-person services in other compact states for up to 30 days per calendar year without obtaining additional licenses

Psychologists must hold an active E-Passport (for telepsychology) or Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (for temporary in-person practice), possess a graduate degree from an accredited program, have a current unrestricted license, and pass a criminal background check with no adverse action history

Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission as a joint public agency to administer the compact, promulgate rules, maintain a coordinated licensure information system, and take enforcement actions against psychologists who violate compact provisions

Requires compact states to report adverse disciplinary actions and significant investigatory information to the coordinated database, and psychologists participating in impaired practitioner treatment programs must withdraw from all practice under the compact

The Board of Psychology must appoint a commissioner to represent Florida on the compact commission, and commission members acting in their official capacity are designated as state agents for sovereign immunity purposes
